Lansoprazole capsules

Description

What is Lansoprazole?

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces stomach acid production, making it ideal for treating acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. By decreasing acid levels, Lansoprazole alleviates symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough, while supporting the healing of the esophagus and stomach lining.

Key Benefits of Lansoprazole

• Long-Lasting Acid Suppression: Provides sustained relief from acid-related discomfort, helping the stomach and esophagus heal over time.
• Symptom Relief: Reduces heartburn, regurgitation, and bloating associated with acid reflux and GERD.
• Supports Digestive Healing: Promotes recovery of the esophageal and stomach lining from acid-related damage.
• Convenient Daily Dosing: Simple once-daily dose for effective management of acid-related symptoms.
